PRECISION AGRICULTURE: BUILDING THE DIGITAL AGRICULTURAL ECOSYSTEM OF THE FUTURE

 

The global demand for food continues to rise and is projected to increase up to 102% to satisfy the requirements of 9 billion people by 2050. Consequently, agricultural production needs to also increase by 60%–70% to ensure the supply of raw materials for food, feed, and fiber. Ensuring a sustainable future, despite today’s sustained and intensified pressure on global resources, means that each actor in the food system needs to develop and enforcing practices that will reduce the use of natural resources where possible, and reuse, recycle, and repurpose them otherwise. Government entities can aid these efforts by implementing policies and strategies for efficient resource management on both national and local levels.

Adopting sustainable farming practices worldwide is contributing to the agroecosystem’s efforts to meet the world’s current food needs while also ensuring that future generations will be able to meet theirs with the limited resources that they will have. These practices also focus on holistic development that incorporates environmental, social, and economic sustainability which are the three fundamental pillars of sustainable development.

Over the next year, there should be promising innovations when it comes to precision agriculture. new companies and startups are being formed on a daily basis, many of which focus on developing climate-friendly and intelligent solutions that help drive sustainability in the industry. Technological advancements are today integral to attaining sustainability goals in agriculture.

This conference will provide you with first-hand exposure and connection to the latest innovations in Smart Farming Techniques and Sustainable Agriculture solutions.

CLIMATE SMART SUSTAINABLE CONSERVATION AGRICULTURE 

 

BACKGROUND: South Africa has a dynamic and active group of farmers, agricultural researchers and extension workers testing and promoting the use of (Conservation Agriculture) CA principles with farmers being at the centre of innovation.  Sustainable farming is critical for rural development and global food security, but it is threatened by intensive agriculture and climate change. Conservation agriculture (CA) is a sustainable farming system developed in response to intensive agriculture, environmental degradation, and climate change caused by traditional agriculture systems.

Tillage agriculture has led to wide-spread soil and ecosystem degradation globally, and more particularly in the developing regions. This is especially so in Africa where traditional agricultural practices have become unsustainable due to severe exploitation of natural resources with negative impacts on the environment. In addition, agriculture in Africa today faces major challenges including increased costs, climate change effects and a need for more sustainable production intensification methods. Climate change and land degradation necessitate a more sound and sustainable farming production paradigm that is both environmentally sustainable and economically profitable without compromising yield and productivity Conservation (no-tillage) agriculture has emerged as a major alternative sustainable agriculture practice in Africa and has spread to many African countries in the past decade as more development and research has enabled its extension and uptake.

CLIMATE SMART LIVESTOCK FARMING FOR SUSTAINABLE FOOD SECURITY

 

Supporting livestock farming development in South Africa is primarily intended to generate income and meet the growing demand for animal sources of protein for South Africa’s growing population. Sustainable production of high-quality animal proteins for a growing world population is the key challenge for the livestock industry in the future. 

In 2050, resilient and healthy animals need to produce enough animal proteins in a resource-efficient and societally accepted way to feed the world’s population. Animal breeding relies on research and development and on long-term commitment to meet the changing consumer demands to increase efficiency in the food chain, to reduce the ecological footprint, to minimize the use of antibiotics, and to contribute to food safety, and to better health and welfare of livestock.

Join Empire Conferencing as we embark on a 3-day intensive conference and study tour on improved strategies for raising livestock for sustainable food security .
